| Adelaide is the capital
city of South Australia. |
| Here in Adelaide.
South Australia we are surrounded by sweeping mountains on one side
and crystal clear blue beaches with white sands that can be view from just about anywhere
in Adelaide. We have nice hot summers to enjoy
our beaches with temperatures getting as high as 40°C if not hotter. Our winters are wet, bringing out the rich green trees
& shrubs that cover the hills, making so many of our National
Parks look inviting to play in -
even in the rain. South Australia does not usually have
snow, like some other states of Australia. |

| Adelaide is
known as the City of Churches, maybe we have lots of them or
something... I thought we had more Parklands than churches I prefer to know Adelaide for it's National Parks up in the hills,and beautiful Parklands
that surround the city center. Our city center is surrounded by lushious
parklands. When Adelaide was hosting the Formula 1 Grand Prix it was raced through
the city streets and parklands. which made for a unique race week. |
| Adelaide
is populated with about 1 million souls |
| Adelaide is re-known
for it's wine districts - to the North of Adelaide is the Barossa Valley Winneries, where you can find the famous Penfolds winery and down South is the McLaren Vale Wineries. |

a cultural, entertainment, and food festival. |
| South of Adelaide
in the months of August through to November -Whale's are
present along our coastal shores and Victor Harbour is known
as the top Whale watching spot in South Australia. Victor Harbour is
about 90 minutes drive along the freeway. If you miss the Whales, then drive down
south about 2 hours, to Granite Island and
see the Penguin Colony there,
you won't be disappointed. |

From the City center, you can travel to Glenelg on the age old Tram, While you are at Glenelg you can visit The Buffalo,
